Tier I feed rate screening limits. Feed rate screening limits for metals are specified in ch.
NR 666 Appendix I as a function of terrain-adjusted effective stack height and terrain and land use in the vicinity of the facility. Criteria for facilities that are not eligible to comply with the screening limits are provided in par.

(a)
Noncarcinogenic metals. The feed rates of antimony, barium, lead, mercury, thallium and silver in all feed streams, including hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial furnace feed stocks may not exceed the screening limits specified in ch.
NR 666 Appendix I.
NR 666.106(2)(a)1.
1. The feed rate screening limits for antimony, barium, mercury, thallium and silver are based on either of the following:
NR 666.106(2)(a)2.
2. The feed rate screening limit for lead is based on one of the following:
NR 666.106(2)(a)2.b.
b. An averaging period of 2 to 24 hours as defined in s.
NR 666.102 (5) (f) 2. with an instantaneous feed rate limit not to exceed 10 times the feed rate that would be allowed on an hourly rolling average basis.

NR 666 Appendix I. The feed rate of each of these metals is limited to a level such that the sum of the ratios of the actual feed rate to the feed rate screening limit specified in ch.
NR 666 Appendix I may not exceed 1.0, as provided by the following equation:
where:
n = number of carcinogenic metals
AFR = actual feed rate to the device for metal “i"
NR 666.106(2)(b)2.
2. The feed rate screening limits for the carcinogenic metals are based on either of the following:
NR 666.106(2)(b)2.b.
b. An averaging period of 2 to 24 hours as defined in s.
NR 666.102 (5) (f) 2. with an instantaneous feed rate limit not to exceed 10 times the feed rate that would be allowed on an hourly rolling average basis.
NR 666.106(2)(c)1.1. The terrain-adjusted effective stack height is determined according to the following equation:
TESH = Ha+H1-Tr
where:
Ha = Actual physical stack height
H1 = Plume rise as determined from ch.
NR 666 Appendix VI as a function of stack flow rate and stack gas exhaust temperature

Terrain type. The screening limits are a function of whether the facility is located in noncomplex or complex terrain. A device located where any part of the surrounding terrain within 5 kilometers of the stack equals or exceeds the elevation of the physical stack height (Ha) is considered to be in complex terrain and the screening limits for complex terrain apply. Terrain measurements are to be made from U.S. geological survey 7.5-minute topographic maps of the area surrounding the facility.
NR 666.106(2)(e)
(e)
Land use. The screening limits are a function of whether the facility is located in an area where the land use is urban or rural. To determine whether land use in the vicinity of the facility is urban or rural, procedures provided in ch.
NR 666 Appendix IX shall be used.

Owners and operators of facilities with more than one on-site stack from a boiler, industrial furnace, incinerator or other thermal treatment unit subject to controls of metals emissions under an operating license or interim license shall comply with the screening limits for all such units assuming all hazardous waste is fed into the device with the worst-case stack based on dispersion characteristics. The worst-case stack is determined from the following equation as applied to each stack:
K = HVT
where:
K = a parameter accounting for relative influence of stack height and plume rise
H = physical stack height (meters)
V = stack gas flow rate (m3/second)
T = exhaust temperature (°K)
The stack with the lowest value of K is the worst-case stack.
